My collection has slowly changed, shifting from 40+ soft covers, to almost exclusively hardcovers, and now I'm moving into first editions and signed copies. More and more I'm concerned with how I store and display my books. Do you suggest Mylar? Are your novels shelved as is? Do you slipcase the hell out of everything? I'm curious if there's a consensus as to the preferred method.

I have a book case with glass doors on for my special King books (signed copies, gift editions, S/L's etc) and while I have it placed somewhere that avoids direct sunlight, I am looking in to this solution I've heard of tha you can spray on glass that then blocks out harmful UV rays.

Oh, and I have the glass doors to protect from my one year old daughter more so than dust lol!
